Hard Pass

I would not recommend working here. The culture is terrible. Little room for movement. Internal hiring process is a joke. There is little to no follow up from the managers.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

All Politics, bad culture

Many opportunities to advance in different responsibility areas

I was able to transfer from branch management to computer company support to sales to department management. Thus acquiring many different job skills.

Pros

Lots of ways to add to my skill levels

Cons

Not a direct path to a specific job

Sressfull demanding job with no clear direction or guidance from upper management

I have been with the company for nearly 10 years. I started out loving my job, the clients and the people I got to work with every day. That has gradually changed every year. Not enough resources (staffing/reliable technology) to do my job effectively. Management is more interested in calls and goals then providing its front line workers the tools needed to do their job. If not for the pandemic I would have left a few years ago. As a manager I am provided a livable wage but the stress and work level are quickly outweighing the benefits. They do provide great medical benefits, vacation benefits would be much better if you didn't have to change them multiple times a year to adjust to the companies needs and lack of preparation.

Pros

Live able wage, great insurance benefits, closed on most major federal holidays

Cons

Upper managetment does not know or care about the people on the front line, technology in the financial centers rarely works, not enough support from constant abuse from clients.

Productive

Productive place to work with opportunity to grow. Unlike my previous banking job, everyday is country club casual day. Management teams choose favorites a lot.

Decent pay and benefits, but typical office structure and corporate environment

It's a typical corporate employer. You spend 8-9 hours a day in a cubicle, on a computer, just a cog in the professional machine. Management is more interested in impressing their bosses than seeing you succeed.

Colleagues are wonderful. Management, not so much.

You will have a hard time finding a workplace culture similar to BOA. I have been in the industry almost 20 years, at various organizations, and I have never experienced this level of comaraderie. Unfortunately, a lot of the departments have skilled managers who lack leadership skills. A subordinate may develop anxiety from top management, which is understandable considering the sensitive nature and high regulation of the industry, so it is, somewhat, expected. The managers seem more task oriented than people; for some, this is unfortunate because it is obvious they are not naturally task oriented. In short, the people manipulators rise while the people influencers sit somewhere in the middle, just not with a senior level responsibility.

Good opportunities

Overall it is a good place to work. There are opportunities to learn and advance. The downside is there is a lot of inefficiencies and people who do not know what they’re doing.

Good Place to work

I have been working with the bank for 11years. Like any employer there are good and bad management you just have to know who you are dealing with. With Covid happening they have been very supportive and making sure that we are all safe. We have been working from home and periodically they will check on the team.

Productive, but stressful environment

Benefits and team atmosphere are top notch, as well as support from local leaders when called upon. Customer & associate relationships bring fulfillment to the job and shine some positive light into the branches. BUT, upper level management is quite detached from the day to day realities, their expectations are extremely high with intense pressure from top to bottom. If you thrive in a chaotic atmosphere that changes daily, enjoy reaching for higher and higher goals, and being compensated for growth that quickly becomes not enough, then this is the place for you.

Pros

benefit package, dependable company, advancement opportunities

Cons

no work/life balance, intentional staff shortages

Inclusive environment and offers opportunities for growth

I worked at Bank of America for nearly four years. This company offered plenty of resources to do the job effectively and opportunities for growth. Systems were put in place to prevent human error and to make processes more streamlined. There’s a heavy workload but my team was collaborative and helpful.
